ThunderCat Technology Named To The Prestigious CRN Tech Elite 250 For 2026

RESTON, Va., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ThunderCat Technology today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized ThunderCat on its 2026 Tech Elite 250 list.

This annual list highlights solution providers based in the U.S. and Canada that are committed to excellence and distinguish themselves by attaining top-tier certifications and specializations from leading technology vendors in areas such as artificial intelligence, infrastructure, cloud and security.

To support customers through the growing complexities of IT and the rise of cutting-edge technologies like AI, the solution providers on this list uphold rigorous levels of training and certification from strategic IT vendors, often aiming for the pinnacle tiers within these vendors' partner programs. Whether they are strategic service providers, systems integrators, managed service providers or value-added resellers, these elite solution providers are committed to their customers' success.

"Value Added Resellers play a critical, sometimes under-appreciated, role in the ecosystem. They are independent and objective third-party advisors helping customers find the right solution given their architecture, needs, timing and of course budget. In order to give that expert advice, they need proven and tested certifications across the stack. Not just storage or cyber or servers. That is what makes Tech Elite 250 so important. Only those who have proven expertise across multiple disciplines including AI and cloud qualify. We are honored and proud to be on this list," said ThunderCat's CEO, Tom Deierlein.

"Congratulations to the solution providers named to CRN's Tech Elite 250 on this well‑earned recognition of their commitment to advanced certifications and deep expertise in these critical technologies," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. "These organizations continue to invest in expanding their capabilities so they can deliver exceptional IT solutions that help their customers succeed."

Coverage of the 2026 Tech Elite 250 will be featured online at crn.com/techelite250 beginning March 16.
